Lakes and Ocean Hotel

The Lakes and Ocean Hotel is one of the local historic icons of Forster. Being over 145 years old, we certainly don’t look it, with our on-going renovations and improvements, the hotel has been completely transformed.  With great eating/drinking areas which have been opened up with large windows and doors opening onto the veranda, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor seating. The café serves breakfast, cake, tea, coffee, craft beers and cocktails. Perfect for a quiet cuppa in the morning before heading out for the day or enjoying. Situated right in town it is only a short walk to the town shops, and Forster main beach.

The Hotel offers eight Deluxe Queen size rooms with en-suite. Located directly across the road from the stunning Wallis Lake.  Four rooms open out directly onto an open veranda with the other four having access to the 180-degree views of Wallis Lake and the famous Foster Tuncurry Bridge. The eight Deluxe Queen rooms were recently refurbished ideal for couples wanting to enjoy a few nights away to take in the beautiful Forster area. The Hotel also offers budget accommodation for those just wanting to put their head down in our old pub rooms. Prices are seasonal for both types of rooms.

The Hotels Bistro is open 7 days for Lunch and Dinner and the Cafe for breakfast.  A function room is also available for any get together, personal or business with catering for any occasions.  You can sit and relax on the open verandas at the Hotel and overlook the stunning Wallis Lake while enjoying a coffee, drinks or a meal. New to The Lakes and Ocean Hotel is its infamous oyster bar with the best oysters in town.

Nice place to have a drink looking out over the lake. Easy parking today and not far from the centre of town

Very disappointed. My 20 year old daughter took her 19 and 17 year old cousins there for lunch. After ordering a meal and buying 3 cokes they were told by a powerhungry bar tender that they had to leave as one person was under 18. None of the girls were near the bar except to purchase a soft drink and then it wasn’t the 17 year old. . They were happy to sit in the restaurant or on the outside verandah but were not allowed as they weren’t deemed responsible. They had to have someone over 25. The restaurant staff were quite happy to allow them to eat it was just one bar tender that was making it into an issue. To top it off they still had to pay for their drinks and food. Were forced to eat it in the car as it was raining without any cutlery. None of the girls were acting out. All three are very quiet. If this is the law (which from what I have researched it isn’t)they should have been given a refund on their food and drinks and spoken to in a far more professional manner. A person should be deemed responsible on their actions not their age. Very annoyed that one persons action can spoil what was a nice day.

Lake’s and Ocean Hotel over the years have done an awesome job over the years with keeping things together for their clients. They have good food and a massive bar area for their drinks. The staff are very helpful and friendly and always there to help.

Alright place to put your head down eventually. Quite noisy downstairs with a loud bar with entertainment and busy kitchen. Was accommodated in the managers residence according to the fire plan. Carpets were dirty. Bathroom was fairly nice with a powerful shower. Some mould on the walls though. Beds were ok but no window in one room and no Aircon in the other. TV barely had any reception.
Restaurant was good, as was the bar with a nice selection of beers. Wish our room was better though, not worth the money, would not recommend staying here.

Great location. Clean. Well run. Over the road from the lake! Beer and wine is reasonably priced. Restaurant is great. Get there!
